Allow me to ask you something. How closely have you been
following the statistics on the war in Yugoslavia? Yes, my
friends, it is indeed a real war, even if American President
Bill Clinton, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the
Western mass media, have done their best to try to avoid
calling it that. You will notice how they are very careful
to try to refer to it as something else; such as a conflict,
or as a crisis. You see, the minute they start to openly
address the Yugoslavian aerial attacks as a war, not only
does the general public become much more alarmed, and not
only do the world stock markets become more affected by it,
but it also places the American president, and the British
prime minister, and other NATO leaders involved in this war,
under certain legal restrictions; and it makes them more
answerable to both their duly-elected governments, as well
as to the general public of each of their respective
countries.

So even though the United States of America and Great
Britain are now engaged in a full-fledged war, which they
alone are responsible for expanding, and thus causing even
more human suffering to both the ethnic Muslim Albanians in
Kosovo, and the Christian Serbs in the rest of Yugoslavia,
they try to avoid using that term, because a war was never
really declared by them. They simply went in, and started
doing what they are now doing, in order to stop the 'ethnic
cleansing' purportedly being carried out by the Serb forces
in the southwestern province of Kosovo. Please do not be
under any delusion about this. The phrase 'ethnic cleansing'
is indeed a real 'buzz word', just like another 'buzz word'
with which we are all familiar: The Holocaust. Using the
term 'ethnic cleansing' immediately causes a 'Pavlov Dog'
response in the general public who react right on cue; and
that is precisely what those waging this terrible war want
to happen! They are relying heavily upon your human emotions
to keep this war going as long as possible! They are relying
upon your pity and compassion for the Muslim Albanians in
Kosovo, in order to continue to fuel the fires of support
for this war; even if you don't really understand what is
going on, as well as why it is happening.

If you personally have any doubts regarding these aerial
attacks being a real full-scale war, just read all of the
news reports concerning what the United States and Great
Britain are doing in that country! Their cruise missiles are
destroying a wide array of targets! This includes bridges,
fuel depots, oil refineries, communications centers such as
television and radio stations, military installations such
as airfields, military barracks, command centers, etc.; and
as they are now finally beginning to admit, they are also
'accidentally' destroying certain civilian targets and
killing a growing number of civilians in the process. In the
words of our Lord, perhaps these civilian casualties of war
are part of what we can refer to as 'the beginning of
sorrows'; for it is indeed sad when lives are lost, which
are not even directly involved in the conflict. It is a
tragic waste of life:

"All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:8, KJV

Believe me; these civilian casualties are the very last
thing that the NATO forces have wanted to come to light; but
with the Yugoslavian president, Slobodan Milosevic, and
various worldwide news organizations making sure that this
information gets out, that is, that civilians have indeed
been killed, there is no way that the United States and
Great Britain can conceal this matter any longer. This is
one thing of which they are really afraid, because it can
begin to turn public opinion against them. It could cause
them to lose any real popular support which they may have
for this war. I do not doubt for a moment that the level of
support for this war is greatly exaggerated by the mass
media, particularly in the United States of America. I am
reminded once again of the prophetic words of the Apostle
Paul found in his second Epistle to his beloved son in the
faith, Timothy:

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Timothy 3:13, KJV

If ever there was a way to deceive people on a large scale,
the mass media is most certainly the way to do it; and we
can be certain that the coming world leader, referred to in
the Bible as the Beast, will use this same form of global
communication to likewise deceive and control those who come
under his dominion. Please refer to my Endtime articles for
more details regarding this demonic leader and his coming
campaign of terror. So again, it is because of the human
casualty factor, that the idea of sending ground troops into
Yugoslavia is such a sensitive issue right now in the United
States. Many fear that this could turn into another bloody
and prolonged quagmire; just like the war in Viet Nam was
thirty years ago; and just like that sad saga in American
history, this brutal war on Yugoslavia is unjustifiable in
my view.

So you see, this 'crisis', just like the Iraq 'crisis', has
all of the earmarks of a regular fullscale war, even if few
will dare to call it that at this present time. These aerial
attacks are basically an undeclared war. The funny thing is,
while the Western participants are very hesitant to call it
a war at this current time, I can just about guarantee you
that, once this tragedy is all over, whenever it is over,
and however it ends, that it will eventually be referred to
as a war. Right now it just isn't politically-convenient for
the warring parties to call it that. There is simply too
much at stake; like public support for example.

At any rate, this war, which is again being primarily led
and financed by the United States of America and its crony
Great Britain, as we already know, or at least should know,
is really becoming mind-boggling in scope; and is clear
evidence to me that there is definitely much more going on
here, than what the general public is being told on the
surface. Earlier today, I read a report on the World Wide
Web regarding the total number of planes, tanks, personnel,
etc., which have been committed to these aerial attacks by
the combined NATO forces; and it hit me really hard what a
major operation this has become! Consider the following
report which I just received a short time ago from CNN, the
American-based Cable News Network:

----- Begin Quote -----

> NATO HITS NEW TARGETS AS US INCREASES FIRE POWER

NATO warplanes struck oil refineries, a fuel depot, bridges
and a factory in pre-dawn raids over Yugoslavia Tuesday and
bombed targets near the Kosovo capital of Pristina, Serbian
TV reported. In Washington, Pentagon sources told CNN the
United States will soon be sending in several hundred
additional warplanes that will increase the size of the NATO
aerial attack force to nearly 1,000 planes.

----- End Quote -----

My friends, Yugoslavia is not that big of a country, yet
they have now committed almost one thousand planes to this
war; and I seriously doubt that we will ever really know the
full truth regarding the total number of committed planes,
troops, missiles, casualties, etc. Imagine; one thousand
planes, many of them capable of carrying cruise missiles,
all attacking that one little country! What brutality! What
an outrageous act of war! I can only wonder if the strategy
being employed here, is to try to speed up the destruction
of Milosevic's military capabilities before public support,
however much there might really be, is lost; just as the war
in Viet Nam also became a grievous thorn in the side of the
Nixon Administration thirty years ago. Many of us can still
recall the nationwide protests, sit-ins, and serious clashes
which occurred between the evil American goverment and its
citizens during those years. Perhaps some of you even
participated in them. President William Jefferson Clinton
most certainly did; even though he is now destroying a
country! The height of hypocrisy! These are part of the
rumours of war, as the Lord Himself also tells us in the
following verse taken from His Endtime sermon found in
Matthew chapter twenty-four:

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye
be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but
the end is not yet." Matthew 24:6, KJV

While I have not actually taken the time to compared figures
between the two, which is probably an impossibility anyway
due to a lack of reliable information, I suspect that an
equal, or possibly even a greater amount of firepower, has
been committed to this war in Yugoslavia during the past
three weeks, than to the aerial attacks, or war, against
Iraq; and please allow me to inform you that those attacks
against the regime of Saddam Hussein also continue by the
way; even if the Western mass media has apparently been
ordered to report very lightly concerning it. The sorties on
Iraqi targets continue, and the Iraqi military machine has
responded in some cases with anti-aircraft artillery. It is
still possible to find information on the current situation
in Iraq in some of the Arab mass media, such as in the
Jordanian Times, which has a web site. The fact of the
matter is that the United States of America, and Great
Britain, are actually involved in two WARS at this current
time, and in both WARS, very similar tactics and strategies
are being employed against their objects of hate: Saddam
Hussein, and Slobodan Milosevic.

It should come as no surprise to us then, that the Western
mass media has painted both of these men with a very similar
brush. They have both been depicted as cruel dictators who
are in control of extremely oppressive regimes. In both
cases, they have been accused of 'ethnic cleansing'; which
as I stated earlier, is a guaranteed way to gain public
support for foreign policy. In the case of Saddam Hussein,
the Kurds to the north, and the Shi'ites to the south, have
been the primary objects of his wrath; and as we all know,
in the case of Slobodan Milosevic, the ethnic Albanians in
Kosova are his object of hate. Being as I have not really
made any personal comments regarding these two men as of
late, allow me to state for the record, that while I do not
doubt that they are indeed guilty of some of the crimes of
which they have both been accused, I also feel that it is
unwise for any of us to accept everything that we read in
the press, or hear on the televison or radio. In other
words, I advise you to take it all with a grain of salt.

I have spoken about government psychological manipulation of
the masses many times before. Let us all be honest with
ourselves. We live in a very manipulated world. Everything
is politically and economically motivated in one way or
another; and whether we like it or not, our governments are
bent on controlling our every mood, and our every thought.
Our governments want to shape how we view the world. They
want to tell us who are friends are, as well as who our
enemies are. They want to mold us all into obedient robots
who do as we are told, at the expense of losing some of our
personal comfort and convenience, if we fail to do as they
dictate. They want to turn all of us into world citizens;
and I can assure you that their plans are well underway in
the public school system. They will even go so far as to try
to turn our own children against us if we are foolish enough
to allow them to do this. If you really doubt that this is
so, consider the words of our Lord; again taken from His
Endtime sermon found in Mark chapter thirteen:

"Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the
father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death."
Mark 13:12, KJV

The main point I am trying to emphasize here, is that while
it is probable that Milosevic and Hussein are guilty of the
things of which they have each been accused, I honestly do
not know to what degree they are each guilty; and if you can
be honest with yourself, you should be willing to admit the
very same thing. We do not live in those countries; and the
vast majority of us have never visited those countries; as
such, we do not have firsthand experiences of what it is
like to live under the rule of those men. In fact, we cannot
even fully trust the words of those who leave those nations,
because their opinions are undoubtedly biased already. The
only thing that any of us know, is what we are allowed to
know by our governments, through their controlled propaganda
organ, the mass media. By the stroke of a pen, or perhaps by
the templates of a printing press, a person can quickly and
easily be transformed into either a saint, or a villain and
a monster. Such is the power of governments, and you would
be wise to not forget it.

As I point out in other articles, such as in 'Do You Pray
For Your Leaders?', regardless of how evil some of these men
might be, and as difficult as this may be for some of you to
understand, the fact that they are even permitted to come to
power, and to do the things which they do, is all by God's
design, in order that He might accomplish His Divine
Purposes. To doubt this truth in any way, is to doubt the
omnipotent nature of our Heavenly Father. For we humans to
even begin to believe that we can fully understand all of
the ways of the Lord, is utter foolishness. Please consider
the following verses which verify this point:

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there
is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring
the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the
things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall
stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"
Isaiah 46:9,10, KJV

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8,9, KJV

"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to
be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
wise." 1 Corinthians 3:18, KJV

"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know." 1 Corinthians 8:2, KJV

In discussing these 'vessels of wrath', that is, these cruel
world leaders which are used by the Lord to punish others,
before being judged and punished by the Lord themselves, the
Apostle Paul wrote the following in his Epistle to the
brethren in Rome:

"For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the
earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy,
and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me,
Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast
thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay,
of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another
unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and
to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the
vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might
make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy,
which he had afore prepared unto glory,"
Romans 9:17-23, KJV

This brings us to a very interesting point. While these two
WARS may at first seem to be totally unrelated, this is
certainly not the case. As I have stated to some of my
Christian friends before, I believe that if we clear away
the smokescreen of helping the Muslim Kosovar Albanians,
just as we helped the Muslims in Bosnia, and the Muslim
Kurds in Iraq, we can begin to see that the current war in
Yugoslavia is really a fullscale effort by the Clinton
Administration to expand America's, and thus NATO's, sphere
of influence, by pushing back and isolating Russia even
further. Isn't this precisely why NATO was formed fifty
years ago; that is, to offer an umbrella of protection to
the European states from the expanding Communist giant? By
brutally grabbing Yugoslavia through the current war, the
United States of America hopes to acquire yet another
beachhead, another staging area, another protectorate
nation, another puppet nation, close to the Russian border.

As I have mentioned to some of my readers in private email,
imagine if you live in the city of Chicago, and the Russians
are dropping cruise missiles in Washington, D.C.. That gives
you a rough idea of how close American warplanes are to the
Russian border, meaning of course, to the Ukraine. The only
thing which separates Belgrade from the Ukraine, is the
country of Romania; and this is one of the reasons why the
Russia government is currently very nervous, very upset, and
has been issuing some strong, but still reserved, warnings
to the United States and to NATO. Another reason for their
anger is their ethnic ties to the Yugoslavian people. You
see, the people of Russia, Belarus and Yuguslavia are all of
Slavic origin. In fact, I was just reading the other day
how, as a result of this war, the government of Yugoslavia
has just decided to accept Russia's invitation to join a
loose Slavic commomwealth with Russia and Belarus.

So you see, by their foolish actions, the United States of
America, and NATO, are pushing Yugoslavia even further into
the arms of America's enemies. After three weeks of heavy
aerial bombardments, it has become obvious that the attacks
are having the exact opposite result for which they were
intended. The longer they endure, the more defiant Milosevic
seems to become; just like Saddam Hussein. It seems that
these two men were cut from the very same cookie cutter, as
we say in American slang. Not only that, but I have been
reading that even Hungary has been trying to restore better
relations with Russia. Considering the fact that Hungry was
just admitted into NATO this past month of March 1999, their
current actions really make a loud statement, and the United
States of America would be wise to listen if they know what
is good for them.

But as I was saying, I believe that there are other reasons
why the U.S.A. is launching such a brutal and prolonged
attack against Milosevic. In my mind, they cannot possibly
afford to lose this war, like they lost the war with Iraq.
Some of you are probably wondering what I am talking about.
You may even be wondering if I live on the same planet as
you. 'What do you mean we lost the war with Iraq? We bombed
the hell out of Baghdad!' Excuse my language, but I am just
talking the way I know that some of you talk. I hope that I
have not offended anyone. Well, allow me to ask you: Has the
United States really accomplished their objectives through
their aerial bombings of Baghdad? The answer is a clear no!
Saddam Hussein is still in power, and the UNSCOM weapons
inspections have not resumed! For all of the time, money,
energy, manpower and weapons that they have invested, and
continue to invest in Iraq, Saddam Hussein is still sitting
as pretty and as defiant as ever! The U.S.A. was unable to
muster enough support from the world community in order to
do what they wanted to do. They even failed to gain enough
votes from the United Nations Security Council. So what did
they do? They, and their crony Great Britain, decided to go
behind everyone's backs, and they bombed Iraq anyway; but
what has it really accomplished? Not much!

The point is, that both the U.S.A. and Great Britain have
been humbled through their failure to oust Saddam Hussein.
They may not be willing to admit it openly, but the leaders
of the world know it, and you should know it too. Despite
all of their military might, their weakness has been shown
by their inability to oust Saddam Hussein. The most powerful
nation on the face of the Earth, at least so we are told,
could not rid the world of this man, who in my mind, no
matter how oppressive of a regime he may operate, and no
matter how evil some people may think he is, was not worthy
of such a massive attack against his country. Just like the
current war in the small nation of Yugoslavia, the Iraq
attacks were, and continue to be totally unjustifiable. What
is happening there is not really a war of good politics, as
much as it is a war of national pride, for America to save
face before the world community.

Now, think of what is happening in Yugoslavia right now. Do
you honestly believe that in light of their dismal failure
in Iraq, that the Americans and the Britons will stop what
they are doing until Mr. Milosevic is totally removed from
power, or at least totally brought to his knees? You see,
they need a total humiliation of Milosevic, in order to
restore their own prestige. Clinton and Blair apparently
feel that they need to prove to the world, that they still
carry a lot of political and military clout. It seems that
they feel that they need to prove to the world, that they
can still be the policemen of the world, even if no one
really asked them to assume that role. In their bloated
pride, they have these visions of grandeur, in which they
will form a New World Order, with Great Britain and her
former colony at the helm. Thus we see this prolonged and
brutal war being waged against Milosevic and his people. If
they fail to remove, or at least to totally incapacitate
Milosevic, as they were unable to do with Saddam Hussein,
that will be two strikes against them.

Exactly how are these events going to end? At this point in
time, I honestly do not know. All parties concerned are
displaying a lot of adamancy. Quite frankly, without some
substantial form of intervention by the Russians, and I am
of course referring to direct military intervention, I just
don't see how Milosevic and his people can continue to
absorb such a brutal pounding by the American and British
forces; but on the other hand, hasn't Saddam Hussein done
the very same thing and survived? The current situation in
Yugoslavia is similar to one diamond rubbing against another
diamond. It appears that both sides have dug in their heels
for the long haul, as we say in American slang. I must admit
that, in light of this three-week barrage of aerial attacks
on Yugoslavian cities, I am rather amazed by Russia's degree
of restraint, as well as perplexed by the fact that she has
not done something by now to put an end to it. I can only
conclude that either the Russian government truly is as
politically, economically and militarily wounded as the
Western press has made her out to be, or else she is wisely
playing possum, and just waiting until the foolish West has
seriously dwindled their supply of war toys, before she
decides to make her own move. Allow me to refer you to my
two articles 'Communism: Is The Dead Beast Really Dead?',
and 'Communism: The Raging Bear Out Of Control'.

Another very real possibility, is that Boris Yeltsin has
instructed Milosevic to hunker down, just as Hussein did,
who also happens to be one of Russia's friends, and simply
wait until world opinion finally makes a solid turn against
American and British policy in Yugosalvia. As I have said on
more than one occasion, due to her violent and belligerent
attitude, America has slowly been digging her own grave, by
enfuriating the nations of the world, as she carries out her
oppressive and bullish policies. While many nations of the
world have been foolishly bewitched by the American dream of
materialistic living, and through their desire to emultate
her, have become enslaved to the International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank, both of which are Zionist-controlled
entities, the truth is, that they truly do hate what she is
doing to the world through her wasteful, lavish lifestyle,
and wanton acts of destruction. As I also point out in other
articles, it is because of her snobbish attitude, that some
Christians, such as myself, have compared her to Babylon the
Great Whore, who is amply described for us in the Book of
Revelation. One thing is for certain, America's pride will
one day be her downfall:

""Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit
before a fall." Proverbs 16:18, KJV

"How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no
sorrow." Revelation 18:7, KJV

Some of my Christian friends have recently suggested to me
that this war might be the start of something much bigger;
that is, they believe that it might be the catalyst for the
long-awaited Battle of Gog and Magog. This awesome battle is
described for us in great detail, both in Ezekiel chapters
thirty-eight and thirty-nine, as well as more briefly in
Revelation chapter twenty; however, as I explain in such
articles as 'From Armageddon To The New Earth', 'Hell And
The Lake Of Fire', and 'The Great Tribulation And The
Rapture', based upon my current understanding of the Holy
Scriptures, I believe that those people who place this
battle in our near future, may be in error. This quick,
decisive, post-Millennial battle against the Saints, is
described for us in the following verses:

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be
loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and
Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom
is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth
of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about,
and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them." Revelation 20:7-9, KJV

As you can see, these verses give us a precise timeframe for
the Battle of Gog and Magog. They specifically state 'when
the thousand years are expired'. As I point out in the
aforementioned articles, this thousand years will not begin,
until Jesus Christ returns in all of His Power and Glory,
and defeats the Beast and the False Prophet at the Battle of
Armageddon. Now, if we turn to the the thirty-eighth chapter
of the Book of Ezekiel, where the Prophet begins to describe
Gog and Magog, in verse eight we read the following:

"After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years
thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the
sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the
mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell
safely all of them." Ezekiel 38:8, KJV

Please notice that just as we are told in John's Revelation
that the famed Battle of Gog and Magog will occur 'when the
thousand years are expired', that is, when the Millennium is
at, or at least nearing its closure, Ezekiel likewise tells
Gog that his battle in Israel will be 'in the latter years'.
While we can argue that the Latter Years, or the Last Days,
or the Endtime, has been in effect since the time of Christ,
which is indeed true, as I explain in such articles as 'The
Seven Heads', we cannot deny the similarities between these
two verses. Allow me to ask you a question: If what is now
occurring in Yugoslavia is the beginning of the Battle of
Gog and Magog, how can we truly say that it meets Ezekiel's
description of 'in the latter years', that is, at the end of
years, if the one-thousand-year Millennial Rule hasn't even
occurred yet? On the other hand, if it occurs 'when the
thousand years are expired', precisely as John tells us,
that truly would be 'in the latter years'; that is, in the
final end years of the Millennium. In comparing Scripture
with Scripture, this definitely seems like a more reasonal
interpretation in my opinion. It simply is not the end of
years, or the latter years, if we still have at least
another thousand years to go, is it?

The only logical way to refute my interpretation, would be
to suggest that there may actually be two different Battles
of Gog and Magog; that is, one which occurs sometime before
the Millennium begins, which would place it in our very near
future, and then a second Battle of Gog and Magog a thousand
years later near its very end. In other words, one would
almost have to say that this theoretical first Battle of Gog
and Magog will lead into the final Battle of Armageddon at
which time Christ returns, or else that the Battle of Gog
and Magog and the Battle of Armageddon are the very same
thing, which they most certainly are not in my view. In
short, to accept any other interpretation than the one which
I have presented, simply creates a very confusing situation,
and is much more difficult to prove in a Scriptural sense.
If John tells us that the Battle of Gog and Magog occurs
after the Millennium expires, then that is what we should
believe.

The truth of the matter, is that this whole idea of the
Battle of Gog and Magog occurring soon, is based upon the
popular interpretation of Endtime prophecy, which states
that the Beast and the Ten Horns of the Books of Daniel and
Revelation, is either Rome and ten European nations, or else
Russia and ten European nations. As I explain in a variety
of my Endtime articles, I too embraced this interpretation
for quite a few years; however, this was based upon what I
had been taught by others, and not upon my own personal
study of the Scriptures. Now that I have taken the time to
thoroughly look into this matter, as I explain in the series
'The Seven Heads', and other articles, I am more inclined to
believe that the Beast will be an Arab/Islamic nation and
its leader, who will lead ten other Arab/Islamic nations, in
their hellish war against the state of Israel. This is the
battle which will be occurring in our near future, in my
view; and it is not the Battle of Gog and Magog, but rather
the Battle of Armageddon. Of course, this war will most
likely be marked by heavy American and Russian involvement.
For more details regarding these events, please study my
Endtime articles. The Battle of Gog and Magog will not occur
until some one thousand years later, after the Millennium,
at the time of the Final Rebellion, which again, is what
John tells us.

In conclusion then, all Earthly wars are evil, because they
are the result of pride, lust, greed, and the desire to have
more than one's rightful share. God hates humanity's wars,
because they not only destroy people and disrupt lives, but
they destroy His natural creation as well; all of which He
created for His own pleasure and enjoyment. At the same
time, because of man's sins, as we have already seen, God
will use man's wars as His own rod of chastisement against
His rebellious creations. Jesus Christ Himself preached
against wars, as I explain in some of my other political
articles, and someday soon, He will indeed put a complete
end to them by His own War at the Battle of Armageddon. For
a thousand years, the world will then be at peace, until the
final Battle of Gog and Magog, when the incorrigibles are
dealt with once and for all. Please consider the following
verses:

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they
not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye
lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask
not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye
may consume it upon your lusts." James 4:1-3, KJV

"But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace."
Psalms 37:11, KJV

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
Matthew 5:5, KJV

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God." Matthew 5:9, KJV

"Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with
the sword." Matthew 26:52, KJV

With these verses, I am going to bring another article to a
close. I trust that it has been informative, and a blessing
in your life.
